Who was hoping for Hulk Hogan taking down Gates?

Me, me, me.

That was the best back tracking I've ever seen, "When you used it for NT log on!"

Gates is such a humourless dick. I hope Microsoft dies a humiliating death and I hope Gates is alive to see it.

I don't get it. Why would Gates be pissed at that?

The look was "Not funny, man, not funny." And it was because of the context the guy was using it in. Bill wasn't pleased, but he wasn't really "mad" per se. It's like when a couple is at a party and he says "Just like the time you sneezed on the cake" and she gives him "the look." You KNOW there's going to be a serious discussion when they're alone.

There's no denying the fame Ctrl-Alt-Del has in Windows.

Why doesn't he just laugh, knowing that just by sitting there doing nothing, in the duration of that clip, he'll make more than I will this year.

he's probably sitting there mentally going through his list of people to destroy, and thinking, "add David Bradley to the top of the list."

Bradley seems like a loudmouthed jacka.ss, but it was great and Bill Gates should have been gracious in reply, but he missed a great opportunity to say something like:

It's a great feature that even Mac OS X enjoys but in OS X it is called (Option+Command+esc)...
Keyboard shortcuts for ending tasks early are necessary, but I wouldn't want to take away from your forsight in inventing such a keyboard device. Or something else anal like that...

Bill Gates, he'll never live down his POS OS that is Windows. It's the world's largest Virus.

Please don't compare Billy boy to professor Xavier. He's a noble fictional character. Billy boy is a dishonorable real one. As far as I'm concerned, Billy boy deserves much more than to simply be publicly humiliated, though that's always a plus.
